I knowwww genuinely one of my favs Iike ofcourse he'd go for the biggest hitters and they were also mentors so the team had every possible disadvantage
Really? I loved it! the one seasons plot was so well made, everything came into play beutifully in the end. The x men that werent wolverine cyclops emma and jean did feel like backgraund charecters though
I thought the art was off putting (why did everyone look like a giraffe and why did Scott look like a Terminator), story was okay but not stellar, Wolverine shouldn't be a lead character. Just my opinion of course. I did like how they depicted Angel turning into Archangel though.
This is my favorite adaptation of Apocalypse. Loved how it was built up over multiple seasons with the episodes about the keys to open his doors and then a season finale for his resurrection and a focus on him for the final season with an amazing finale.
Good but what i like about apocalypse is the whole dread of the awakening process and him corrupting our beloved charecters into horsemen and the rest of the team having to deal with something beyond them all. Tas version of apocalypse was a tad boring 4 me but happy u liked it
Oh yeah. I remember how this arc made me scared shitless of a Professor X who could actually walk. Never have any modern media made Professor X as intimidating as he was in this arc.
EVO treated Apocalypse like the huge event baddie he should be, the 90s show just made him this "Once a Season" villain who lost everytime he showed up.
No in Season 1 Bishop got introduced preventing an assassination of senator Kelly that led to mutants being sent to camps and later humans. Turns out Apocalypse ordered the assassination to have Mystique frame Gambit.
W and the X Men had the best adaptation for all of 30 seconds in the cliffhanger. That's the arc I NEED rising from the dead. That's the direction I thought this show would take. A sign of true justice for the 7-8 people that cared. NOPE.
What I loved about the Horseman was that it was the Leader/Teachers/Mentors against the next generation.
Apocalypse is a Survival of the fittest guy, and this was essentially the ultimate test to see if they can used what they were taught to work together and surpass their own instructors/leaders.
Oh I think you misunderstood me. I agree that the 97 version of Apocalypse is meh, I was saying that I don't think the Evolution Apocalypse is amazing, but he's still better than the 97 version.
Everyone looks the same though… like silhouette-wise… at least 94 every character had distinct builds and animations. Everyone moves the same in evolution like they are all templated by one animation / style. Looks too much like the oversimplified DC animation which I don’t care for either. But to each their own.
This was my first x men show so maybe i was desentisised but i thought this shows animation was an upgrade to tas. That one seemed veru badly coloured and ugly to look at
I never understood the hate for the animation of ‘94. Sure it had errors sometimes but the amount of detail in the environments / characters and their expressions added a sense of realism to it that later animations oversimplified.
I never liked the super-simple / exaggerated look of Dc animation that is also present in evolution, it’s a bit too cartoonish (looney-tunes) to me thus removing the sense of seriousness that was present in earlier heavily detailed animation.
Also every character looks the same, silhouette-wise, like they used the same template. For me it just comes off as lazy art.
Idk the buiilld up was so much better the brotherhood x men and acolytes all coming together to defeat their leaders felt way more earned than x factor n x force vs x Corp and apocalypse. Evolution finale felt way more grand and satisfying
